I almost thought it was a micro burst. It just didn't feel like any of the other big gusts. Sustained and violent.

Took a tour around all 3 beaches. All 3 have some serious changes. The elevated showers and beach houses at 1st beach were finally put to work. The waves were making it to Easton's Pond. 1st hasn't seen action like that since at least Hurricane Bob, if I remember correctly. Johnny's ABC truly felt the wrath of the storm. The ocean was nipping at Flo's Clam Shack as well.

Ocean Drive was unimpressive, although the seawall closest to King's Beach is really destroyed now. Low tide looks like high tide. Some BIG rocks tossed around onto the roadways. One hunk of the seawall that is at least several hundred pounds had been moved 10 or so yards. Green Bridge was roughed up too.
